Book Description
In this book, Constant Mews and Neville Chiavaroli examine a medieval text long neglected by most scholars. The Lost Letters of Heloise and Abelard looks at the earlier correspondence between these two famous individuals, revealing the emotions and intimate exchanges that occurred between them. The perspectives presented here are very different from the view related by Abelard in his "History of my Calamities," an account which provoked a much more famous exchange of letters between Heloise and Abelard after they had both entered religious life. Offering a full translation of the love letters along with a copy of the actual Latin text, Mews and Chiavaroli provide an in-depth analysis of the debate concerning the authenticity of the letters and look at the way in which the relationship between Heloise and Abelard has been perceived over the centuries.

From A Cottager's Sketchbook, Vol.2
Author: Liang Shih-chiu
Publisher: The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press
ISBN: 988237879X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
A Cottager's Sketchbook is a collection of informal essays written by Liang Shih-chiu over a span of more than four decades. The earliest pieces originally appeared in a weekly in the wartime capital of Chongqing and, in the subsequent articles, the author continues to ridicule human foibles and social follies. His elegant and graceful prose, enriched by his liberal use of classical quotations and literally allusions, is sprinkled with lampoons of contemporary life and culture. Volume II of this collection features pieces from the seventies and eighties. Liang's distinct style continues to shine, but these late essays reveal a mellowness that comes with age. While the poignant sarcasm subtly and slowly shifts to a benign humor, the nostalgia for his hometown becomes more and more palpable during his exile in Taiwan.
